Mundane Foods Getting Fancy: Instant Squid Ink Cup Noodles

Ramen, that staple of cash-starved college kids and those everywhere in need of a quick pick-me-up is leading a trend towards everyday foods getting "fancified." The noodles consist of the traditional ingredients and flavorings that you'd find in the classic Cup Noodle that is made by Nissin including egg, cabbage, kamaboko fish sausage and green onions. However, the black ramen has been infused with squid ink that gives the broth a jet-black appearance that will be familiar to anyone who frequents fancy restaurants.
